O'Hanlon Center for the Arts

Monoprinting
2026-10-04 10:00 - 15:00, 2026-10-18 10:00 - 15:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | O’Hanlon Center for the Arts
WE ARE OFFERING THIS WORKSHOP TWICE A MONTH
Monoprinting is a playful, exploratory process requiring neither a press nor a background in art
On a plate of gel or plexiglass, images are made with paint, rollers, sponges, netting, leaves or anything else which might create an interesting pattern. The focus is not upon the finished work but upon the experience of discovery and making art.
In the workshop, after two or three hours, the group gathers to discuss what has been created. The purpose of the discussion is to help each person recognize the beauty in their work. Or, in the words of Ann O’Hanlon, our purpose is “to look upon a seemingly random work of our own with interest” and with “the same fulfillment… experienced on an unknown wilderness trail.”
First and Third Sundays, 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM
$60 | $50 OHCA members + $10 materials fee paid to facilitator on day of workshop
6 people MAX

About Candis Cousins
Candis Cousins first came to the Center in 1972. Ann O’Hanlon was alive and at that time the Center was called ‘Sight and Insight.’ On Candis’ first day, Ann’s suggestion for working was this: “Every decision you make, try to make the wrong decision.”
In 2002, Candis returned to OHCA to join the mono printing group led by Cayen Robertson and Karen Cox. In her own work, Candis tries to keep moving forward without a plan, just to see what comes.

“It is such an invigorating, soul-finding experience to facilitate this workshop. A love-fest, a laugh-fest on the high seas of creativity!”
– Candis

2026-10-06 10:00 - 14:00
Perception Workshops Description

The Perception Workshops at O’Hanlon welcome all artists and the art-curious. Rather than focusing on formal principles or strict rules, these workshops emphasize curiosity, exploration, and creative play. They spark imagination by encouraging learning through doing, observation, acceptance, and practice. Participants are supported in taking risks, experimenting freely, and developing their own visual language in an open, encouraging environment.
Each session begins with a simple prompt or exercise. From there, participants may build on their initial ideas or take them in entirely new directions. At the end, the group comes together to share discoveries through looking, reflection, and discussion, celebrating the process as much as the result.
Most materials are provided, but participants are welcome to bring their own.

Participants will explore and play with a range of materials while also learning the fundamentals of line, form, and composition. Along the way, they will engage in both intuitive and observational approaches to drawing, expanding their visual vocabulary while learning to see and interpret the world around them with greater attention and confidence.
Set aside your inhibitions and learn to draw! Bring your open and curious mind, a sketchbook (minimum 11” x 14”), and your favorite writing tool. All other materialswill be provided. Materials fee ($20 paid to the instructor at the beginning of class).

LOVING THE SATURDAY WORKSHOP
The long-running Visual Perception Workshop is at the heart of O’Hanlon Center. Recently we asked workshop participants for their thoughts.
I love doing art with friends…and then sharing it!
I love that it is a drop-in class and
I don’t have to sign up ahead of time.
I like that I don’t have to know how to do art…
It’s about our own creativity.
It is so much fun.
I love the creative atmosphere. It breeds excitement and enjoyment of the process.
I like the mix of people and their art.
It is free and fun.
I like that I can get into the flow of art and forget the stressful world.
I look forward to stepping into another time and place. It is a magical experience to visit this special piece of land at the foot of Mt Tam.
Being with people who care about art and artists is something I find worthwhile. I feel lucky to have discovered this class. It informs me well beyond 4 hours on Saturday.
This Saturday workshop serves as a tool to open up all of my senses and I come alive.
The setting is gorgeous and serene.
I love Saturday class. I wouldn’t think of missing it. I come every Saturday, and have for years and years.

Based on a True Story: Developing Memories into Literature - with Bart Schneider

Based on a True Story: Developing Memories Into Literaturewith Bart Schneider

Bringing the tools of poetry and fiction to memoir.
6 Wednesdays – 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM
Many folks are drawn to the idea of writing a memoir but find the notion of composing a book-length account daunting. This class will encourage writing from personal experience in a variety of forms and lengths, will introduce a range of narrative approaches, and explore methods for developing a germ of memory into a substantial form. We will also consider the ethical concerns of taking liberty with “the facts” to enhance the story, (or how much poetic license will the puritanical worm in your brain allow?) The instructor will introduce literary examples and offer prompts for in-class writing. Participants will be invited to share their in-class writing as well as their writing from home.
In addition to writing implements please bring memories and stories to the gathering.

Inside JUNK JOURNALING with Peller
2026-10-28 13:30 - 16:00
Junk journaling is a creative and mindful craft that blends scrapbooking and collaging, serving as a heartfelt response to the fleeting nature of digital life. In a world dominated by screens and instant communication, junk journaling invites you to slow down and reconnect with tangible, physical materials—snipping, gluing, and layering to create meaningful art.
By transforming everyday “trash” like parking tickets, luggage tags, ticket stubs, or even pieces of pizza boxes into beautiful collages, you can discover the magic in the overlooked and discarded. It’s a fun challenge to seek out items you might normally toss away and repurpose them into personal journal entries or artistic pieces.
Adopting a collector’s eye encourages mindfulness and observation, inspiring you to notice the small ephemera of daily life—receipts, labels, snippets of wrapping paper—and see them as treasures waiting to be incorporated into your journal.
Join this creative journey to add a little magic and intentionality to your day-to-day life. Embrace the imperfect, the transient, and the beautiful in the ordinary through junk journaling—where one person’s junk becomes another’s treasured story.
Join me in adding a little magic to your day to day.

Photo Transfer with Margot Hartford - Saturday, December 12
2026-12-12 11:00 - 16:00
Saturday, December 12, 2026 11AM – 4PM
This workshop introduces the technique of image transfers — a process that allows you to move your digital files (photographs, graphics, or text) onto a variety of surfaces, in either color or black and white.
Using transfer film printed with an inkjet printer and a specially prepared paste, you’ll learn how to transfer your images onto surfaces such as paper, wood, metal, and fabric.
Prior to the class, you will send the instructor eight of your own photographs (iPhone images are perfectly fine). These will be printed and prepared in advance so you’re ready to begin working as soon as the workshop starts.
During the session, we’ll cover essential materials, where to source them, and how to use them effectively. While you will be transferring onto paper and wood in class, we will also discuss additional surface possibilities so you can continue experimenting on your own.
Register by December 11
Workshop fee: $275 | $220 OHCA membersMaterials: $25, to be paid directly to the instructor on the day of the workshop.Maximum number of students: 10

This workshop introduces the technique of image transfers — a process that allows you to move your digital files (photographs, graphics, or text) onto a variety of surfaces, in either color or black and white.
Using transfer film printed with an inkjet printer and a specially prepared paste, you’ll learn how to transfer your images onto surfaces such as paper, wood, metal, and fabric.
Prior to the class, you will send the instructor eight of your own photographs (iPhone images are perfectly fine). These will be printed and prepared in advance so you’re ready to begin working as soon as the workshop starts.
During the session, we’ll cover essential materials, where to source them, and how to use them effectively. While you will be transferring onto paper and wood in class, we will also discuss additional surface possibilities so you can continue experimenting on your own.
